"I AM: The Everything of God"
(Inspired by Exodus 3:14)
That moment when God first speaks to Moses—“I AM THAT I AM”—has always stirred something deep within me. Over time, through prayer, study, and lived experience, I’ve come to see this not just as a name, but as a divine revelation of God’s very nature.
“Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh.”
I AM THAT I AM.
(Exodus 3:14)
It’s a phrase that defies categories. It refuses to be boxed in. And for me, it sparked a realization: God is everything—and everyone—for anyone.
In other words, God is the fulfillment of every human longing. He is the answer to every question, the balm for every wound, the strength in every weakness. He doesn't become what we need—He already is.
The Ever-Present One
This verse reminds me that God is not limited by time, form, or comprehension. He has no beginning, no end. He simply is—eternally and infinitely.
And in that presence, He meets each of us personally. To the rejected, He is acceptance. To the grieving, He is comfort. To the addict, He is deliverance. To the overwhelmed, He is peace. God speaks to each soul in the exact language it needs—and says, "I AM."
Personal Reflection
In my early life, I saw God through narrow, rigid terms—defined by rules and conditions. But as I walked through the wilderness of addiction and the long road of recovery, I began to encounter God as presence, not performance.
I stopped trying to define Him, and I started to experience Him.
That’s when this name—I AM—took root in me. It wasn’t theological anymore; it was personal. God wasn’t “out there” or “back then.” He was here. Now. Alive. Enough.
The Living “I AM” in Christ
This same declaration shows up again when Jesus says:
“Before Abraham was, I AM.”
(John 8:58)
In Christ, the eternal “I AM” takes on flesh—walking among us, healing us, redeeming us. The God who is everything steps into our human story to bring us home.
Closing Prayer
Eternal God, the Great I AM,
You are more than my mind can grasp and more than my heart can contain.
Thank You for being all that I need, even when I don’t know what that is.
Meet me where I am today—and remind me that You always were, always are, and always will be.
I rest in Your presence.
Amen.
